carrying shot gun and followed
by his late hunting dog, ''Ben,P'
which was then puppy. The depot
was at that time situated in a vast
swamp, located where now the busy
street car, the noisy fruit vender. the
Gong restaurant and the erudite hack
men hold sway. He came alone in
sending for his family, and for months
slept in the depot and cooked his own
food. He used to set old shoes around
the edge of the marsh as traps for frogs,
upon which he SubSiSted almost entirely
during the summer months, together
with the dried fish and berries which he.
obtained by trading from the Indians.
He has since obtained distinction as a
mighty NimrOd, and as president of the
Milwaukee Rod and Gun club has ac-
quired national reputation as a scout
and trapper. He is an unerring shot, a
great pedestrian, and his knowledge of
woodcraft is simply phenomenal. To
see him put his dog in the wagon and
less prairie with the same confidence
with which he would go to the
pOstoffice, is sight which has
often aStOnished the dude hunters of
Eastern cities, whom he has so many
times pilOted on hunting excursions
through the wild West. He is the In
ventor of the famous Milwaukee hunt
ing car, so constructed that it affords
the accommodations of boarding house,
an all-night restaurant, drug store, read
ing room and Salvation Army barracks.
lie possesses a number of characters
tics and accomplishments which COM
pose unique and charming personality.
His record as lOng-diStance and all
around SnOrer has never been equaled.
1t is related that last summer he fell
asleep upon the banks of Lake Tray
erSe. Soon afterwards there came
at regular intervals hOarse rumb-
ling sound, which went across the
waters of the placid lake, and was re-
echoed from the hills. The Indians in
the neighborhOod were alarmed, and,
thinking that some new invention of
the hated pale-face had come to drive
them from their happy hunting grounds,
crept upon the unconscious sleeper with
their rifles in their hands,. The. moon
light revealed his features to them, as
he lay with his head pillowed. upon: an
empty cracker box. just as the chief
raised his tomahawk to strike, dusky
squaw interposed her arm. ''Ugh," she
murmured, ''me know him. Big Chief
Chamberlain; heap SnOre." Strange as
it may seem, the SquaW, in her more
youthful days, had been one of a wan
dering band of Indians which years ago
viSitedMinneapOliS in the spring to trade.
She had heard Chamberlain SnOre as
he lay ON his cot in the Milwaukee
depot. Strange as it may SEEM, so
strangely impressed upon her memory
was that snOre, with its wild, weird and
almost unearthly roar, that she had
never forgotten it, and recognizing the
sound hastened across the lake in her
birch bark canoe, arriving just in time
to save his life, even as did PochahOntaS
that of Capt. John Smith in the days of
old.
